Tests are conducted to determine the comparative performance and accuracy of Sippican Inc.'s eXpendable Conductivity Temperature Depth (XCTD) probes as opposed to CTD sondes. As previously seen in the THETIS-I experiment, errors that occurred due to experimental conditions are segregated from errors caused by the equipment. Results show the relative accuracy of XCTD sensors based on the manufacturer's specifications.
